I know there are a few crossover folks that post here. But has the forum on ShotgunWorld changed? Seems that the threads I generally watch are somewhere else?

The only change is the forum has grown duller than ever before. It looks as if anyone with real knowledge is often berated by some "shotgun expert" who's knowledge is limited to new pumps and autos or to whatever company gave him a free trip to their factory. It has really lost a lot of shine over the last few years.

It appears to me that about the first three or four forums including the "Shotgun ID and Value" that I usually look at are gone.

The reloading subform is also gone.

Um, has anyone attempted to navigate thru the >>New<< Shotgunworld format? Seems you have to click on the form tab in the right upper corner near the >>Login / Join<< tab of the 1st page?

Yes and it takes some getting used to. I don't understand why they wanted to make you select the full forum. It should be displayed first. Also, the thumbnail posts on the forum overview page don't provide as much information as before. Just minor things to get use to with the new software.

Ed, it takes all of 15 seconds to post an image here if it is already stored on your PC. It doesn't require storing your photos on an image hosting site, and the process couldn't be much easier than it is right now. Posting a photo directly from my phone is s little more tedious, and might take a minute or two..

Dave would be nuts to make a change to store or host images here. With all of the whiners and crybabies we have, if anything ever happened to cause the loss of those images, he and we would never hear the end of it.

+ 1, well said.

Ed Good has a long history here of wanting someone else to do everything for him, for example, asking simple to answer questions that he could easily research himself, under the guise of "making doublegun conversation".

Posted By: HomelessjOe Re: ShotgunWorld Forum Change? - 09/11/21 02:50 PM

No Ed, you have to do as jOe said, and upload your image to a free photo hosting site. But you don't have to join or store your images there. Thus, there is no chance that your images will be lost if the site crashes, is hacked, or simply decides to hold your images unless you pay an exorbitant fee. As I said before, the process takes me about 15 seconds, and even less to add additional pics to the same post.
Posted By: ed good Re: ShotgunWorld Forum Change? - 09/12/21 01:59 PM
whine, whine, whine...

still an extra step...i wanna be able to transfer image files direct from google cloud to here...jes like i do on gi and gb...

Shotgunworld forum is now as useful as a chocolate fire guard or perhaps even udders on a bull!

I must say, I am impressed with the colourful description / metaphor / simile.
